Matches Eze's goal contributions at a cheaper price point

❌ Top Three Transfers OUT
1. Marc Cucurella - £6.1m (HOLD)
Ownership: 22.9% but 17,000+ selling
GW12: 6 points (clean sheet vs Leicester) - that's his sixth clean sheet this season
Zero goals, just 2 assists all season - returns becoming predictable
Playing every minute but at £6.1m, there are better options
5.3 expected points for GW13 isn't exciting

West Ham have conceded 16 goals this season
Just 2 goals and 1 assist all campaign
5.8 expected points feels optimistic given lack of minutes
VERDICT: SELL IMMEDIATELY. No reason to keep a bench player from a leaky defense.
💎 Differential Picks Under 10% Ownership
1. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall - £4.9m (2.8% owned)

2. Ryan Sessegnon - £5.4m (0.8% owned)
Started and played 90 minutes against Wolves, keeping a clean sheet for 3 points
Marco Silva's Fulham have defensive solidity
7 expected points for GW13 - cheap way into Fulham's defense with attacking potential
3. Amad Diallo - £6.3m (1.9% owned)
Just 2 points in GW12 but played the full 90 under new boss Ruben Amorim
Manchester United are transitioning but Amad looks central to their plans
6.3 expected points for GW13 - worth a punt if you're brave
⚡ Captaincy Pick for Gameweek 13
Eberechi Eze is the obvious choice. Hat-trick hero, top form, 10 expected points, and Arsenal's attack is firing on all cylinders. If you want a differential captain, Mohamed Salah against Southampton is always a safe bet, though his consistency speaks for itself.
🎯 Key Tip for This Gameweek
With Cunha's availability uncertain, have a backup plan ready. Don't wait until Friday to sort your Wolves coverage. Act early this week to avoid last-minute scrambles.
